  1. Portal Watch 2022-23

    Certainly I would rather have Walton than not, but just a gut feel that people are going to step up this year, gonna be different IMO. Too many times I have watched changes like we are making(I think this is going to work and we're going to see it fairly quickly) and people just come forth and...

    I'm guessing we don't miss a beat. We got players that can and will step up and this could be something of the norm over the next couple years. I'm guessing we improve our recruiting these next couple classes. The new system works both ways. Competition will determine the outcome. I've always...
  3. Is this our best coaching staff of all time?

    Many thought, including me, that the 1951 team was actually better than the '52 team. My impression of Brigman was he was more of a game manager where Crawford was a really good QB. Pepper played QB more in '53 I think, not positive, than at any other time while there, but a winner as place...

    I really like the dry climate out west, the darn humidity east is what zaps me. I could handle AZ Oct thru April and the Colorado or N M Mtns May through Sept just fine. I've had friends over the years that lived in those Mtns and they all said it took about 6 weeks to make the adjustment to the...
  5. Garrett Riley . . .

    Obviously Dabo is a great recruiter but does he have a weakness in evaluating QB talent? It's a mixed bag, Trevor Lawrence and the QB before him that played for the Texans were good ones obviously, but some of the others did not have the mental part it seems. Any thoughts?

    So did your Dad graduate in the mid fifties?
  7. Way too Early 2023 Predictions

    It seems so many people base their predictions on what last years opponent had and did and more times than not they're really different teams each year, never have thought that was a good way to do it.

    I wonder if he transfers again after spring. might depend on what sort of spring Gray Carroll or Noah Collins has. We have a lot of DLs that are not contributing much and could be getting looks going fwd at some better players, who knows. Also, where or do Lockett, Miles fit in? Lockett looks...

    I was just going with the only info I had, really glad to hear he is working out and hopefully can go through spring practice, I think the kid has a really bright future with Key and company, am really excited about him. He's a "baller" IMO.

    I'm not sure, but maybe we do it different and set up stability in our HC and that becomes a real selling point to kids coming out of HS. Think ma be right about changing out other coaches to fit the current need. Just a thought, we seem to be headed towards doing things a little different than...

    What are we in need of now? Wrecker on the DL? HSQB? With Pyron hurt and I'm guessing out until summer, do we have QBs?
  12. Conference Realignment

    Some reason I could not get the "body" of the article to open, probably me.
  13. Conference Realignment

    GT matters to the ND administration because they recruit the SE and Georgia and we are an assured win most of the time.
  14. General News about Key and his Staff

    Don't disagree with anything you say, but might add my impression is the Duke fan base doesn't give a rats :?"/ *** about FB. It would not surprise if Duke dropped out of CFB when and if the ACC were to somehow end, which I still see as a possibility. I could easily see Duke joining the George...
  15. General News about Key and his Staff

    Key impresses me with how he goes about doing what needs to be done, We need players? Hire coaches that have track record of being really good recruiters. Hire a great HS coach liaison. He goes and gets what he needs to get the job done, seems to keep personal feelings out of it. That is really...
  16. General News about Key and his Staff

    Key is looking more and more everyday like a "fixer" and as someone already said if it ain't the right fix he'll fix it again until it's right but he'll have to go with what he has at some point and make it work. Guessing we're at that point about now. I like what we're going with. Looks like we...
  17. General News about Key and his Staff

    Looks to me like Thacker is getting some real help for his growth as a DC. Key is trying to help the kids, coaches, program, seems to be constantly trying to add to and help, signs of a successful leader IMO. Also, these guys all seem to be really good recruiters, not to be overlooked. Things...
  18. General News about Key and his Staff

    You guys straighten me out, but seems to me like we did not recruit that well under Collins other than his first full recruiting class, seems like it was in the top 30, but other than that not much.
  19. D-Line & coaching going into 2023

    I'm trusting in Key in this case all the way, always a question in my mind if David Turner came to GT under Collins if something was not quite what it seemed about him, but I definitely noticed better DL play last year and have to give some credit to him. Maybe Key is doing what he said he would...
  20. Stansbury hired at NCSU

    From early on I always questioned how smart the man was, but then I did not know him personally. Not saying it's the case here but have noticed successful coaches sometimes seem to get an AD put in place that they can manage and manipulate, always wondered how Dave Braine ended up at GT if the...
